The "operator seal" command seals the Vault server. Sealing tells the Vault
|
|
server to
|
|
|
|
stop responding to any operations until it is unsealed. When sealed, the Vault
|
|
|
|
server discards its in-memory root key to unlock the data, so it is
|
|
|
|
physically blocked from responding to operations unsealed.

# operator seal
|
|
|
|
The `operator seal` seals the Vault server. Sealing tells the Vault server to
|
|
stop responding to any operations until it is unsealed. When sealed, the Vault
|
|
server discards its in-memory root key to unlock the data, so it is physically
|
|
blocked from responding to operations unsealed.
|
|
|
|
If an unseal is in progress, sealing the Vault will reset the unsealing process.
|
|
Users will have to re-enter their portions of the root key again.
|
|
|
|
This command does nothing if the Vault server is already sealed.
|
|
|
|
For more information on sealing and unsealing, please the [seal concepts
|
|
page](/vault/docs/concepts/seal).

|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
Seal a Vault server:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ vault operator seal
|
|
Success! Vault is sealed.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
